373		-1. Direct Transition (Editing the Existing Repository)
374		- You can modify the existing repository directly:
375		-Change the target to “OCI Repository”.
	371	+To ensure a smooth transition, we recomment should **add an OCI-based repository alongside the existing ChartMuseum repository** during the migration phase.
376	376
377		-* Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).
	373	+We will make your charts available in the corresponding new `<pkey>-helm` OCI projects.
378	378
379		-After saving, installed apps will automatically start using the updated repository.
	375	+-----
380	380
381		-Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
382		-If your old repository included several charts (for example “bitbucket” and “jira”), then after switching to OCI you can only target one chart (e.g. “bitbucket”).
383		-The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.

390		-* Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
391		-* Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
392		-* Migrate applications gradually following the steps described in the main migration guide.
	386	+## Why This Migration Is Required
	387	+- ChartMuseum is deprecated and will be removed.
	388	+- Applications deployed from old repos keep a reference to that repo inside their labels.
	389	+- Without updating the application to point to the new OCI repo, **Rancher will not detect new chart versions**.##

398		-If your existing repository targets multiple chart repositories and you need the new OCI setup to behave the same way, please contact support. OCI does not support multi-chart endpoints within a single repository, and we can help you find an appropriate solution.

	451	+- Add new OCI repo → disable old repo → upgrade apps → reconnect to OCI repo.
	452	+- After upgrade, apps no longer track versions from the old repository.
	453	+- Old repository will stop functioning after ChartMuseum shutdown, so migration is required.##
